Maryland Terrapins (5-7)

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) The University of Maryland will have medical staff tending to the school's sports teams employed outside of the athletics department.

This would include the head team physician, athletic trainers, nutritionists and mental health practitioners.

The directive, announced Thursday, fulfills recommendations from an external safety review following the death last year of Maryland offensive lineman Jordan McNair, who collapsed during practice and subsequently died of heatstroke.
